Santa Cruz Vala CC X0 AXS Reserve

Meet the all-new Santa Cruz Vala CC X0 AXS RSV Kit, a groundbreaking machine that redefines what a full-power electric mountain bike can do. As the latest model from Santa Cruz, the Vala blends the company's mountain bike expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver a ride that's as powerful as it is nimble. Designed for the most demanding trails, it features 150mm of rear suspension and a 160mm travel fork, giving you the confidence to tackle rough terrain without feeling weighed down. The mixed-wheel configuration (29” front and 27.5” rear) enhances stability and agility, ensuring top-tier handling across varying conditions.

At the heart of the Vala is the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, a class-leading drive unit that produces 85 Nm of torque, making steep climbs feel like a breeze. Paired with a 600Wh internal battery, the Vala provides exceptional range and power. If you want to extend your adventures, the bike is also compatible with a 250Wh PowerMore range extender, giving you more freedom to explore without worrying about running low on juice. The lightweight battery system is integrated to optimize handling, and its compact size allows the Vala to maintain its sleek, agile profile.

What makes the Vala stand out is its newly designed four-bar suspension system, crafted specifically for e-bikes. This innovative design improves on Santa Cruz’s traditional VPP™ suspension, offering enhanced pedaling efficiency and better control over rough terrain. The Vala’s suspension remains active even while pedaling, delivering smooth traction over rocks and roots while minimizing pedal kickback. Descending steep, technical trails is equally impressive thanks to the bike’s anti-rise characteristics, which keep the rear suspension engaged for a composed and controlled ride, even under heavy braking.

Santa Cruz has paid meticulous attention to detail with the Vala, and the benefits are clear. The battery is positioned low and near the bottom bracket, optimizing the bike’s center of gravity for precise, responsive handling. The CC Carbon frame is ultra-lightweight, keeping the bike’s total weight under 50 pounds while maintaining the signature durability and stiffness that Santa Cruz bikes are known for. The flip-chip system allows riders to adjust the bike’s suspension progression, tailoring the ride to either prioritize responsiveness or plush comfort, depending on their riding preferences.

Beyond performance, the Vala CC X0 AXS RSV Kit is designed with rider comfort and ease of use in mind. The motor and suspension layout allows for longer dropper posts, with sizes up to 210mm on larger frames, ensuring you get the best possible fit and control. Santa Cruz’s renowned attention to detail extends to the oversized ball bearings in the suspension pivots, which are more resistant to contamination and wear, resulting in smoother performance and less maintenance over time.

With its premium Bosch motor, versatile battery options, and state-of-the-art suspension system, the Santa Cruz Vala CC X0 AXS RSV Kit delivers an unparalleled e-bike experience. Whether you're charging up steep climbs, navigating technical terrain, or cruising through all-day rides, the Vala provides the perfect balance of power, handling, and fun. It’s not just an e-bike—it's a game-changer that sets a new standard for electric mountain bikes. Get ready to redefine your ride with the Santa Cruz Vala.
